At 88, B.B. King is a living legend, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame blues guitarist with 15 Grammy Awards, multiple plantinum-selling records and an unparalleled reputation in the world of blues and rock 'n' roll.

Never content to rest on his laurels, the King of Blues continues to perform, appearing at 100-plus shows a year.

King's current North American tour brings him to Bridgeport's Klein Auditorium on Friday, April 18.

A pivotal figure in the history of blues and rock, King also has helped to nurture and sustain the genres at his eponymous clubs -- venues for many of today's greatest touring acts.

King knows the importance of performing. He began his career playing over 340 dates on the Chitlin Circuit in 1956 alone. Over a period of 64 years, King has played in excess of 15,000 performances.
